Cotton, Climate, and Camels in Early Islamic Iran: A Moment in World History
ISBN: 9780231148375 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A boom in the production and export of cotton made Iran the richest region of the Islamic caliphate in the ninth and tenth centuries. Yet in the eleventh century, Iran's impressive agricultural economy entered a steep decline, bringing the country's primacy to an end. Richard W. Bulliet advances several provocative theses to explain these hitherto unrecognized historical events. According to Bulliet, the boom in cotton production directly paralleled the spread of Islam, and Iran's agricultural decline stemmed from a significant cooling of the climate that lasted for over a century. The...

Islam: The View from the Edge
ISBN: 9780231082181 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This concise revisionist account of the historical evolution of Islamic society goes beyond the caliph and the capital. The author abandons the historian's habit of viewing Islamic history from the centre, that is, focusing on the rise and fall of imperial dynasties. Instead, he derives a more accurate understanding of how and why Islam became - and continues to be - so rooted in the social structure of the vast majority of people who lived far from the political centre and did not see the caliphate as essential in their lives.

Hunters, Herders, and Hamburgers: The Past and Future of Human-Animal Relationships
ISBN: 9780231130769 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Richard W. Bulliet has long been a leading figure in the study of human-animal relations, and in his newest work, Hunters, Herders, and Hamburgers, he offers a sweeping and engaging perspective on this dynamic relationship from prehistory to the present. By considering the shifting roles of donkeys, camels, cows, and other domesticated animals in human society, as well as their place in the social imagination, Bulliet reveals the different ways various cultures have reinforced, symbolized, and rationalized their relations with animals. Bulliet identifies and explores four stages in...

The Columbia History of the 20th Century
ISBN: 9780231076296 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 651 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the parade of highlights with which many have tried to sum up the twentieth century, the overarching patterns and fundamental transformations often fail to come into focus. The Columbia History of the 20th Century, however, is much more than a chronicle of the previous century's front-page news. Instead, the book is a series of twenty-three linked interpretive essays on the most significant developments in modern times--ranging from athletics to art, the economy to the environment. Rather than presenting a linear narrative, each author uncovers patterns of worldwide change. James...

The Case for Islamo-Christian Civilization
ISBN: 9780231127967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Conventional wisdom maintains that the differences between Islam and Christianity are irreconcilable. Pre-eminent Middle East scholar Richard W. Bulliet disagrees, and in this fresh, provocative book he looks beneath the rhetoric of hatred and misunderstanding to challenge prevailing--and misleading--views of Islamic history and a "clash of civilizations." These sibling societies begin at the same time, go through the same developmental stages, and confront the same internal challenges. Yet as Christianity grows rich and powerful and less central to everyday life, Islam finds success around...

ISBN: 9780231072359 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why, for many centuries, was the wheel abandoned in the Middle East in favor of the camel as a means of transport? This richly illustrated study explains this anomaly. Drawing on archaeology, art, technology, anthropology, linguistics, and camel husbandry, Bulliet explores the implications for the region's economic and social development during the Middle Ages and into modern times.
